What His Father Would Get.

A Boston Sunday school teacher was
endeavoring to impress upon the minds
of her little pupils the necessity OF
good behavior. "You must be very
careful how you act, said she, "for if
you act badly you will be punished,
while if you act good you will be re-
warded. Now, my dears, can any one
tell me what he will get if he acts well ?"

an actor, Immediately replied: "Det

A Great Crop in North Carolina.

Mr.. John Robinson, commissioner
of agriculture, has just returned to Raj
eigh, after an extensive tour of the
State. He has looked at the crops
carefully in the past ten days, and has
made hundreds of inquiries. AS re-
suit of his observations and information
he says cotton is very seriously dam
aged on all light lands. Estimates Of
the crop will by this be considerably
reduced. Cotton on such lands is
turning yellow. On stiff, rocky land
cotton is not injured, and the crop will
be exceptionally fine. The corn will
be the finest ever made in the State.
The tobacco crop will in amount fall
perhaps one-third below the average,
but the quality is far higher than the
average. Cures are good so far. Many
specimens of the new crop were shown
at the tobacco convention at MOrehead
City, which were Of marked excellence,
and the high quality of the crop was
commented on by growers and dealers
The crop of peas, Commissioner Rob-
inson says, is four times as large as
any before planted, and this he con-
siders gratifying. Peas are growing
iuxuriously from the coast to the
mountains. The Commissioner says
that the increase of interest in agri-
cultural matters is remarkable. Farm
erS are holding meetings and institutes,
and the attendance is large He is in
formed that large crops of small grain
Will be sown in the autumn.
